BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — One trophy earned, two more in Indiana's target sights.
Big Ten regular season champion Indiana men's soccer (14-1-3, 7-1-2 B1G) begins its run for a second trophy Wednesday in the Big Ten Tournament. The No. 1-seeded Hoosiers host No. 5 Maryland (12-4-1, 5-4-1 B1G) in the semifinal round, seeking a 17th Big Ten Tournament title, 37th overall conference title and 13th conference championship double.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET from Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Tickets are on sale here - $11 general admission, $5 for youth; $1 tickets are available to students at the stadium with valid student ID. Fans unable to attend can watch the match via the Big Ten Network.
KICKING OFF
• Indiana received a bye as the six-team tournament's No. 1 seed. Maryland had to beat Michigan State, 2-0, in their quarterfinal on Sunday in Bloomington to advance to Wednesday's match.
• The Hoosiers are coming off back-to-back ranked victories, a 3-1 result at No. 17 UCLA on Oct. 30 before the 3-2 win over No. 9 Michigan State to clinch their 20th Big Ten regular season title.
To date, Indiana has balanced ample scoring (2.11 goals per game) with stubborn defense (0.61 goals against average) to win 14 of 18 games in the regular season, with one lone defeat.
• Wednesday's match could have major implications on NCAA Tournament play, as Maryland currently ranks No. 4 in the RPI, right in front of No. 5 IU. So, this match could essentially be for a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament, which provides home-field advantage up until the NCAA College Cup.
• Indiana boasts an 11-0-1 home record as well as a 4-0-1 mark against ranked opponents this season.
ABOUT THE TERRAPINS
• Maryland averages 1.8 goals per game while conceding a 1.5 goals against average. The Terrapins have won four of their last five matches, the only loss coming at Washington, a 2-1 result.
• Freshman forward Rodrigo Neri lead the Terps with eight goals and 18 points. Sophomore midfielder Henry Bernstein leads the Big Ten in assists with 10.
• The Top Drawer Soccer Midseason lists featured two Terps in the Top 100 players list – Bernstein and Farouk Cisse – and four in the Top 100 Freshmen list – Franklin Affanyi, Neri, Said El Eyssami and Luka Juricic.
• Head coach Sasho Cirovski leads Maryland in his 34th season, carrying a 463-184-77 record during his time in College Park. Cirovski is the winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men's soccer with a 489-196-83 career record.
SERIES HISTORY
• Since it joined the Big Ten Conference in 2014, Maryland has challenged IU as the second-winningest program in conference play over that span, by percentage (.714 to .627).
• In that stretch, Indiana boasts a 68-21-21 league record, has totaled 223 points in conference regular season play and has won 10 Big Ten Championships. Maryland ranks second in all three categories with a 58-30-22 mark, 196 points and seven titles.
• Head-to-head, Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski has a one-game advantage on IU's Todd Yeagley. Since 2014, the Terps have seven victories to Indiana's six, and six more matches have ended in a draw or penalty shootout.
• Indiana gave one of its best performances of the year in their Big Ten Conference regular season meeting on Oct. 2, a 3-1 victory at Armstrong Stadium. IU scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, and Stephane Njike – a Maryland transfer – put the game away with a 63rd-minute strike, accentuated by his signature backflip celebration. The Terps pulled one back in the 71st minute and would have come within one if not for Michal Mroz's 87th-minute penalty save, his fourth save of the night. Njike had one goal and one assist, Easton Bogard two assists, Charlie Heuer the winning goal and Collins Oduro an assist off the bench.
• The programs have faced off six times in the Big Ten Tournament. Maryland clinched the 2014 conference tourney title with a 2-1 win in College Park. The last five tournament meetings have all come in the semifinal round. Indiana has a 3-1-2 record against Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament.
